    Chapter 2 Management Plan

    Chapter 2 Management Plan Mahogany Canyon in the High Rock Canyon Wilderness 2.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter contains objectives and decisions for managing the natural, physical and cultural resources described in the Act and those located in parts of the planning area not included in the National Conservation Area or designated Wilderness Areas. Background information is provided for each of these resources to establish points of reference for the decisions that follow. 2.2 PROGRAM-SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES AND DECISIONS 2.2.1 LAND HEALTH STANDARDS Land Health Standards are expressions of physical and biological condition or degree of function required for sustainable environmental health. These standards engender measurements that describe on- the-ground conditions in relation to the four fundamentals of healthy, properly functioning ecosystems that are identified at 43 CFR § 4180. These fundamentals are: • Watersheds in properly functioning physical condition; soil and plant conditions support infiltration, soil moisture storage, and the release of water that is in balance with climate and landform and maintain or improve water quality, water quantity, and timing and duration of flow. Ecological processes, including the hydrologic cycle, nutrient cycle, and energy flow, are maintained in order to support healthy biotic populations and communities. • Water quality complies with State water quality standards and achieves BLM management objectives. • Habitats are restored or maintained for listed, proposed, candidate and other special status species. BLACK ROCK-HIGH ROCK RMP 2-1 JULY 2004 Chapter 2 –Management Plan Standards are achieved through the use of guidelines developed for specific programs and uses. Because the Standards were originally applied to livestock grazing, guidelines for livestock grazing (Appendix B) will continue to apply to that use.

    JUNE, 1962 40c • • • • . Author's car crossing the playa of Black Rock Desert in northwestern Nevada. On Black Rock Desert Trails When Dora Tucker and Nell Murbarger first began exploring the Black Rock country in northwestern Nevada they did not realize what a high, wide and wild country it was. On the Black Rock a hundred miles doesn't mean a thing. In the 10,000 square miles of this desert wasteland there isn't a foot of pavement nor a mile of railroad— neither gasoline station nor postoffice. Antelopes out-number human beings fifty to one. There's plenty of room here for exploring. By NELL MURBARGER Photographs by the author Map by Norton Allen S AN illustration of what the want to!

    GEOLOGY OF THE BLACK ROCK DESERT By Cathy Busby Professor of Geology University of California Santa Barbara http://www.geol.ucsb.edu/faculty/busby BURNING MAN EARTH GUARDIANS PAVILION 2012 LEAVE NO TRACE Please come find me and Iʼll give you a personal tour of the posters! You are here! In one of the most amazing geologic wonderlands in the world! Fantastic rock exposure, spectacular geomorphic features, and a long history, including: 1. PreCambrian loss of our Australian neighbors by continental rifting, * 2. Paleozoic accretion of island volcanic chains like Japan (twice!), 3. Mesozoic compression and emplacement of a batholith, 4. Cenozoic stretching and volcanism, plus a mantle plume torching the base of the continent! Let’s start with what you can see on the playa and from the playa: the Neogene to Recent geology, which is the past ~23 million years (= Ma). Note: Recent = past 15,000 years http://www.terragalleria.com Then we’ll “build” the terrane you are standing on, beginning with a BILLION years ago, moving through the Paleozoic (old life, ~540-253 Ma), Mesozoic (age of dinosaurs, ~253-65 Ma)) and Cenozoic (age of mammals, ~65 -0 Ma). Neogene to Recent geology Black Rock Playa extends 100 miles, from Gerlach to the Jackson Mountains. The Black Rock Desert is divided into two arms by the Black Rock Range, and covers 1,000 square miles. Empire (south of Gerlach)has the U.S. Gypsum mine and drywall factory (brand name “Sheetrock”), and thereʼs an opal mine at base of Calico Mtns.

Based on observations that started as early as 1990 to 2014, it appears a small group of elk established a home range within the Santa Rosa Range. This small herd has continued to increase throughout the last two decades. In January of 2013, two cow elk were collared to track movement and use areas. Since the start of that project, to date, one collar has been recovered with data of known use areas. The second collar is due to fall off in August of 2015. In January 2014, the first elk survey flight was conducted. During this survey, a total of 21 elk were observed. All 21 animals were bulls with no cows being located. Prior to this survey, animals have been observed from the air on several occasions, incidentally during other specie surveys. Another follow-up survey was conducted in March 2015 to try to determine the number of elk existing in the Santa Rosa Range. During this flight no elk were observed.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION Most of the major changes included in the second edition of Mining Districts of Nevada resulted from mineral assessment work carried out in south central Nevada between 1992 and 1996 (Tingley and others, 1993, 1997). Six new mining districts, Cedar Spring, Gold Range, Jamestown, Pocopah, Rainstorm, and Trappmans, have been added in Nye County and two districts, Joe May Canyon and White Caps, have been added in Clark County. Six Nye County districts, Antelope Springs, Cactus Springs, Clarkdale, Kawich, Wellington, and Wilsons, and three districts in Lincoln County, Don Dale, Groom, and Papoose, have boundary modifications and new material has been added to their descriptions in the text. In the northern part of the state, the boundary of the Argenta district, Lander County, has been modified to reflect the development of a major gold mine; gold has now surpassed barite as the major commodity produced from this district.

    i \ University of Nevada Reno (jreeology of Paleozoic Basinal Rocks in the Northern Fox Range; Washoe County, Nevada A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geology. by Mark F. Thiesse V i August 1988 11 MINES LIBRARY The thesis of Mark F. Thiesse is approved: 2H03 Thesis Advisor Department Chairman Dean, Graduate School University of Nevada Reno August 1988 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. R .A. Schweickert for his help, encouragement and patience throughout this project. Dr. Bruce Wardlaw provided the conodont identification which suggested the Carboniferous (?) age of the metamorphic rocks. Other thanks go to Andy Markos and Bob Strobel for help with the thin sections and interesting discussions. And finally, thanks to Carol for typing and for funding this project. iv ABSTRACT The Fox Range in Northwestern Nevada is a typical Basin and Range fault block mountain range which has been tilted about 30° to the east, accelerating the erosion of Tertiary volcanic rocks along the steep western flanks, and exposing Paleozoic metamorphic rocks. The Paleozoic rocks consist of a very fine grained, siliceous mudstone which was regionally metamorphosed from mid-greenschist to mid-amphibolite facies producing argillite, schist, limestone, quartzite, and gneiss. These Paleozoic rocks exhibit three generations of structures. Di created the schistose and gneissic layering common throughout the range, along with abundant tight to isoclinal folds. D2 structures are dominated by two large, map-scale antiforms and occasional smaller, open to tight, east to northeast trending folds and assorted lineations. D3 structures are limited to a few north-south trending, open to gentle folds which affect all pre-Tertiary lithologies.
